Why can't I start the Retain Server? [Planner, CS, Ent]
Return to Introduction Previous Topic Next page

If you are running Retain with a Retain Server and you find that the server appears briefly on the taskbar and then disappears again you should check the settings in SvrCnfg.ini, ensure that it is configured to the correct database type, server, database, username and password. It may look something like this:

[Global]  
;(Oracle)DOA/(Borland Database Engine)BDE/(SQL)ADO_SQL  
DBDriver=ADO_SQL  
DBName=SERVER1  
 
DefaultUser=Retain  
DefaultPassword=Retain  
 
ThreadPoolCount=32  
MaxUsers=1000  
DisplayTerminal=1  
ServerPort=11372  
 
LogClientConnection=1  
 
MaxStackTraceLength=0  
 
[Security]  
AcceptUserLogon=0  
 
[Compression]  
Threshold=100  
Level=1  
 
Also, you should check that the Server is not already running as a service which is not set to interact with the desktop.

See the Implementation Guide for further details.
